Tattoo: Ghost stealing money [designed by me].

Needles: 5RL | 7M

Reflection: I think I'll go back and add faint outline for the dollar bills in the background (the blurry lineless things floating about.

Other than that...it was mighty fun. Just continuing to look for my grove. I now see how much better it is to just shade the details in, rather then linework (Which is largely why I think the bird of 009 looks a bit off. Too much line work). I've always hated that, and preferred the seamless look I've noticed in my favorite tattoo artists.

Might start charging a week from today. I would prefer to remain free for at LEAST another week after this week. But...I need money urgently. Have $300 in bills a month (phone, student loans, credit card (I refuse to have more than 1).), and I can barely feed myself a month.

Lotus

Few days before the XVI event !! Enjoy the tease...

Lotus on the foot. Its a Coverup of an old tattoo...

009

Date: May 29, 2009

Tattoo: Hawk, designed by me

Needles: 5RL | 13M

I think it could've been better. But it gave me another chance to familiarize myself with shading. And with tattoo placement, weird angles...

I learned that the neck/collar bone area doesn't take too well to ink. Had to go over the lines.

Date: May 28, 2009

Tattoo: Client wanted Jack Skeleton (nightmare before christmas). But I convinced him to do a custom piece influenced by Jack and the client. He liked it, so...

Needles: 3L | 5L | 7M

Self Review: I think I messed up the line work in a few places. But I'm growing accustomed to a technique with shading I like: Treat it like a brush, and make sure the power supply is set high.

Once upon an infernal time,
Existed a circus created by hell’s own grime
The circus bred freaks that thrived on pain,
Thereby giving it, its sordid name.

In the carnival of pain, lived a freak,
Whose daily pain made the guillotine seem meek.
Diamond fangs, the condemned called him,
The Grand Meister, of the Carnival of eternal Sin
And the pain he felt, he transferred to ink,
With which he marked bodies till raw and pink.

This blasphemy provoked higher beings,
Till even God deferred; and the Devil Intervened.
Black, angry and searing pains he felt,
Of kinds which make hardest stones melt,

Voices of those past inked, echoed painfully
Right through Diamond Fang’s head; throbbing violently.
The creature thought, for sure he’ll explode,
For minions of hell destroyed his abode.
Scorched his eyes, and flayed his body
Until his tainted soul was ripped all bloody.

Thus when he was about to break,
The visions cleared and a voice thus spake,
From its high throne of gory splendor,
Said the Devil with glistening evil ardor,

“You’ve breached the codes of heaven and hell,
For this torrid sin, repent you shall.
66 irredeemable sinners you must find,
And mark them with the ink of thine,
Then only will your soul mend,
And back to your Carnival, you may tend.

Break me this chain of human sacrifice,
And your soul can never survive
So go forth my insolent son,
your quest of 66 sinners has now begun".
